Our intention

To share this special place that we love so much with our community, and empower you to be fully present: We’ll play in the water, soak in the sun, stretch our bodies and minds, we will dive deep but we will also relax and play, showing up as our authentic selves. We will share delicious meals, heartfelt stories, and full belly laughter. This will be a weekend that replenishes our cups and reminds us of how sweet it feels to be present and honor putting ourselves first.
